Spring Break was awesome we had a great time. We decided to head on up to Idaho to see some people we knew. We ended up staying at Rick and Tiff's one night, and spending another night at Reed and Stacie's

Just thought I would post a few pictures we had of our trip to Idaho. Reed and Stacie let us stay at their house for a night and we had the opportunity to go horseback riding. It was a lot fo fun. The Pony that Paige rode was a little tempermental. The kids loved riding the horses though and they of course think we need some horses.



Paige learned quite a bit about grooming a horse. She had a little bit of a hard time at first getting used to such a large animal.








This little pony was an hornery little thing, but Paige still loved riding the pony.







These guys are having a good time waiting for their ride on the horses.

Lagoon

Here are a few pictures I found of our trip to Lagoon last year. If you want to see a picture full size, just click. If you have any comments, please post them.

I don't know what is going on with Annie but she does not look happy. Maybe it's because of the camera.

Jennica takes after Grandpa when it comes to watermelon. I don't know what she is thinking, but it looks like she is happy.

Audrey (the number 1 daughter) and Rick (the number 1 son) are hanging out together under the pavilion. Rick really is a Super Dad. Audrey is a Super Oldest Sister.

It's a good thing none of these guys in line really have drivers licences.
What ride did these guys get off? They look a little wet.
These guys look like they are not old enough to go on this ride. I think they went on this ride about 20 million times.


Ken and Trish, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.
Tony I think she is scared of the horsey.


What are these guys up to? It looks like they have devised an evil plan. Are they all related?
The best part about a family Reunion is the food.

Dad eating his watermelon through osmosis.
I know Ed is up to something. I haven't figured it out yet, but I know Ed. He is probably creating some way to torture Scott.
Doesn't this look fun. They all look terrified.













These are just a few of the pictures I found of Lagoon. I had a great time. Maybe I can find a few more pics and post them.

Scott and Michelle Earl

Ken, thanks for creating the Earl Family Bog. I am excited to post some of the memories I have had this past year.

Trip to Oregon Coast

One of my fondest memories of our family trip to the coast is the look on my daughters face as the waves come crashing down towards her. She would go running in to the water with such excitement, but when she saw a wave coming in towards her, she would scream and run the other way.



There were five families crammed into a house (Dave and Penny, Tony and Tracy, Ken and Trish, and Danny and Holly). Our kids will remember those times. Could you really put a price on spending time with family?



I was really proud that Dave could fit into that suit. I think it only took him about 3 hours to get crammed into his wet suit.



Danny on the other hand had a hard time getting his shoes on for the wet suit. It's a good thing they know what they are doing.



The kids enjoyed the sand. It seemed like all they did was dig holes all day long.


Paige wanted to be buried in the sand, I was really temped to bury her, but she was too cute


She also liked to play hold the little ones. She is going to make a great big sister some day.


We eventually made our way to the one of the surrounding attractions. The kids loved the fish and animals.



Later that night we decided to make a bonfire, boy was it huge. I think my camera would have melted if I were any closer.


It was worth destroying that little fort that the children had made, so we could have that bonfire.




These were just some of the pictures I have from our trip to Oregon. I will try and put some more pictures up from other family activites.

The New Earl Family Blog

Hi all, I started this blog, and invited you to it as sort of a way for news to propagate through the Earl family. This is a great place to post pictures of things, tell the rest of a family about a vacation you just went on, or talk about a bouncy ball you found in the street one day(basically whatever you want to put on here). It's just for fun.
Anyway, I hope everyone will contribute. You can make posts, put pictures in, and also comment on other people's posts.

Have Fun!
